Charting UL Enrollment since 1901

[CrappDaddy]

Not sure what Tech and ULM are claiming, but ULM has a little more than half the students UL has. I know because I went there for two years. Tech is probably the same size as UL if I had to guess, a whole bunch of Shreveport kids.

Tech
has never had more than about 12,000 stude
nts that I've ever heard of and I thought we had beem flirting with 17,000 for the last couple years.

I don't know WHERE you are getting these numbers from.

From the UL System.

ULL 16,320 Down .15%
Tech 10,950 Up 3%
ULM 8,767 Up 2.5%

I believe these figures are only undergraduates. Could be wrong though.

I know SLCC has had a major pump in students over the summer. That could have something to do w/ it.

Also, your enrollment went down by 25 students.

I wouldn't call that statistically significant.

_ We only have 15k enrollment???? What is the deal at Tech and ULM???? I heard that their school population was up--but I can't see that we are going down and with the North La loss of population that their numbers are increasing---I think folkes are playing games with online students!!!!!! _

Also. You're pulling this north LA population loss from thin air. There's no such thing, and even if there was, you wouldn't know it until the census is completed in 2010. I've never heard this. Ever.

Ruston is growing, Shreveport is growing, and Monroe is relatively stable, if not dropping slightly. The Haynesville Shale, V-Vehicle plant, and other new industry that has recently come about in North LA will show the opposite trend.

At least these figures look realistic compared to others I've seen recently!

I had posted this before-----on the Moon Griffon show a guy ---I think his name was Elliot Stonecipher( I am sure I am killing the spelling) talked about Louisiana losing a congressman---this is based on population as we all know---BUT he mentioned the redistricting and that North La would get only one---BECAUSE of the loss of population and he then mentioned the number of 25-40 year old women that had left the area===That is what was said!!!!

I was told that we have the most graduate students of the 3 schools---Don't know but Cajun Fun is our dude for stats!!!
